Hetty, it had already been moved to the ‘Comments’ for "The Maids of Ardagh", the earlier contribution, 2001, with ‘corrections’ made to the transcript. I didn’t repeat the name "Ballydehob" because it was an obvoius case of not bothering to check for pre-existing titles and just grabbing the first thing that came to mind ~ "I can’t remember the title for this. We’re in Ballydehob. I’ll call it ‘The Ballydehob Polka’…" :-/

“The Ballydehob Polka” ~ surviving here too :-/

Crrringe tune:
The nasty little 1st part, especially when the tune runs back to Dmajor from the 2nd part in A pentatonic, ruins the whole tune!
Arghh! Someone should come up with tonal / modal ‘rules of the ‘rerun’ and ‘runs into” and make sure they’re adhered to!
What’s the Garda Ceolanna doin?
A prize goes to the person who’ll find a suitable alternative to that 1st part. Let me know!

Many people must like it, with so many names!

I hate to see a negative comment be the "last word" here. Allow me to note that this tune appears in a classic De Danaan track on the "Selected Jigs, etc." LP and also in a great medley by Ashley MacIsaac on "Fiddle Music 101"; MacIsaac’s medley starts with a Scottish pipe tune called Christmas Carousing, followed by this tune, then an unknown tune (possibly part of a Ward Allen two-step), and ends with Listen To The Mocking Bird.

The Maids Of Ardagh, X:7

This is how "Liberton Pipe Band" is played in the Scottish Borders. First part in D then two parts in A. Repeat as necessary and finish on first part.
I’ve also seen this as a four part tune but I’ve never played it that way.
